The caprice for the study
came from an indigenous designed instructional board for teaching learners in nursery/primary schools (2-10 years) and the task whose overall topic
is the
reminiscence, retention of visuals aid use in the pedagogy. The study is to
appraise the opinion of toddlers/teachers about the helpfulness of 3D-visuals
(ergonomic board); the clarity of the intended functions of the 3D-visuals in
the toddler’s lessons instruction and support from the producers in using them;
and why visuals (conventional visual aids) in schoolroom instruction are
misjudged/misinterpreted; their view about the functions in specific
(conventional visuals) for the instruction pedagogy; and other sources of
visuals provided other than the lesson’s instruction. Four nursery/primary
schools participated in the study. Seventy-two (72) toddler’s/teachers
participated in the study. The study examined using quantitative and
qualitative approach for statistical analysis (using pie-chart and histogram).
The findings suggested that the aspects of visuals items selected for comment
and description are to some extent circumscribed by toddler’s learners’ linguistic
resources. Understandably, the point made
by researchers referred that visuals often fail to support learning as
effectively
